What our clients say

  • My daughter (now 16m) uses her learning tower every day and she’s always so proud of herself when she can help with some simple kitchen tasks. Looking forward to our Pikler! - Anita
  • We have received the frame & slide this morning and our little one is all over it (literally!). Thank you so much. The quality is outstanding. – Vivienne

  • The climbing frames arrived today and I can unequivocally say that I am extremely happy with them - they're solid and have fantastic build quality. My little boy who turns 1 next week has already taken a shine to the baby climbing frame and made a beeline towards it as soon as he saw it. Super happy with my purchase. I would like to thank both you and your husband, Carl for the amazing job you did from start to finish. - Gregen
  • I'm beyond happy with your product, it's just so great and the quality is amazing. Our kids are in heaven and I feel assured with the safety and how sturdy it is. - Candice
  • I wish to thank you for the most magnificent work done in supplying our family with practical and beautiful playroom, outdoor and household children’s furniture that I know will provide many years of easy and much-loved use. Of course the furniture is crafted superbly but it is the overall ethos of this family-run business that delighted me so. The attention to detail, the passion, the love for the craft, the pride in the design… Carl left no detail overlooked and gave his undivided attention to every step of the project. We truly co-created a new relationship between client and supplier based on trust, respect and fun. Carl and Tara, thank you and wishing you every success in future, you absolutely deserve it. With much love, Nicole and family
